Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to scheduled multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) acknowledgement. A device may determine a block acknowledgment schedule associated with one or more destination devices. The device may cause to send a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) frame including the block acknowledgment schedule. The device may identify one or more acknowledgment frames received from at least one of the one or more destination devices based on the block acknowledgment schedule.
Claims20
A device of an initiator device, the device comprising storage and processing circuitry coupled to storage, the processing circuitry configured to:
- determine a block acknowledgment schedule associated with one or more destination devices;
- cause to send a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) frame including the block acknowledgment schedule;
- and
- identify one or more acknowledgment frames received from at least one of the one or more destination devices, the one or more acknowledgement frames associated with the block acknowledgment schedule.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors of a responding device result in performing operations comprising:
- identifying a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) frame including a block acknowledgment schedule;
- and
- causing to send a block acknowledgment frame to the initiator device based on the block acknowledgment schedule.
A method comprising:
- determining, by one or more processors, a block acknowledgment schedule associated with one or more destination devices;
- causing to send a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) frame including the block acknowledgment schedule;
- and
- identifying one or more acknowledgment frames received from at least one of the one or more destination devices, the one or more acknowledgement frames associated with the block acknowledgment schedule.
